This AK Reserve Redevelopment Plan (hereafter referred to as the “Redevelopment Plan”) has two sections. Part 1 describes the planning context for the proposed basketball, athletics and rugby facilities (Figure 1.1). Part 2 is the planning assessment tool for future development and subdivision in the AK redevelopment area.
Part 1 provides an overview of the background and context, the relevant requirements of the Perry Lakes Redevelopment Act 2005 (hereafter referred to as the PLRA 2005) and the work undertaken to establish a planning context for the wider sporting precinct. It explains the role and function of this Redevelopment Plan, and describes the evolution of the proposals for the three sporting facilities. Part 2 provides the planning provisions to guide future development within the AK redevelopment area.
A number of studies have been completed to properly advise the redevelopment planning process. These studies have been attached and a summary of the supporting documents is provided in part 3.
1.2 Redevelopment Plan – Purpose Statement
The PLRA 2005 applies to the Perry Lakes Stadium site at Floreat within the Town of Cambridge (“the Perry Lakes land”) and to nearby land on the southern side of Underwood Avenue (“the AK Reserve land”) also in the Town of Cambridge (TOC), and is able to be applied to land outside the TOC.
The AK Reserve Minister has responsibility on behalf of the state to ensure that three sporting facilities (for basketball, athletics and rugby) are constructed “wholly or partly on the AK Reserve land or on land in the AK redevelopment area or on land outside the AK redevelopment area, as the Minister decides, but not on the Perry Lakes land”; see sections 12(1) and 12(2) of the PLRA 2005. Section 19(2) of the PLRA 2005 requires the AK Reserve Minister to prepare a draft redevelopment plan for the AK redevelopment area.
Background
The proposed relocation of the existing three sports facilities from the Perry Lakes land to the area south of Underwood Avenue creates the opportunity to establish a sports precinct. Proposals for the development of a Regional Sports Precinct have been contemplated for several years.
A number of studies and initiatives have examined the precinct concept, the most pertinent of which are:
- Shenton Park Study (1989)
- Shenton Park/Mt Claremont Land Use Study and Structure Plan (2001–4); and
- Mt Claremont Sports Precinct Structure Plan (2005)
